    Utilize appropriate tools and methods to produce digital
    graphics.
    Free Transform
    Change by using rotate, scale, skew,
    distort, or perspective in one
    continuous operation. Instead of
    choosing different commands, you
    simply hold down a key on your
    keyboard to switch between
    transformation types.
    Rotating an object turns it around a
    fixed point that you choose.
    Hold Shift while resizing to keep the
    proportions or use Scale instead.
    Shear
    Shearing objects will slant or skew the object. This
    is great for casting shadows.

    Symbols
    A symbol is an art object that you can reuse in a
    document.
    If you create a symbol from a leaf, you can then
    add instances of that over and over again without
    actually adding the image multiple times.
    Each symbol instance is linked to the symbol in the
    Symbols panel or to a symbols library.
    Using symbols can save you time and greatly reduce
    file size.
    Pen Tool
    Use the pen tool to add and delete anchor points.
    Anchor Point
    A point on a path that indicates a change of
    direction.
    You can add anchor points or delete anchor points
    to change the shape of a path.
    Paths
    Open Path
    Open paths do not end.
    They dont connect back to
    the original anchor point.
    Closed Path
    A closed path has the same
    beginning and ending point.
    It forms a complete shape
    than can be filled with color
    or text.
    Fill and Stroke
    Stroke is the outline of a shape,
    text or image.
    Weight
    Color
    Style
    Fill is the inside color of a
    closed shape.
    Patterns
    A repeating pattern fills the image with a unique
    assortment of shapes and colors.
    Image Trace
    Use the Image Trace to automatically trace an
    image.
    Area vs. Point Type
    Area type fills the text in a
    closed path.
    Use this when you want text to
    appear inside a shape or
    object.
    Point type begins right where
    you click and does not
    automatically wrap to the next
    line.
    Area vs. Point Type video
    Type on a Path
    The text flows along an open or closed path.
